More Words from Bailey Marie...

Driving in the car yesterday:

Bailey: Mama! That's Grandma and Grandpa's neighbor Jacob's house!

Mama: Yep, Bailey, that's their house!

Bailey: I've never ever been there once.

Mama: Ok...

Bailey: That's Masticious.

Mama: You mean mysterious? or suspicious?

Bailey: Yes.
A favorite quote of mine:

If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself. If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you ?

The words of Brennan Jake...

This morning...

Bailey: MAMA!!!! Brennan's touching me!

Mama: Ok, both of you! That's enough with this tattling! From now on, do not tell on each other unless someone is doing something dangerous. Otherwise, ask them to stop, move away from them or come and be next to me. No more of this!

Brennan: Yeah, Bailey...so like if I was pushing you off a cliff.

Mama: But Brennan! You would NEVER do that!

Brennan: Yeah, we don't have any cliffs around here.

South Twin Lake







Priceless photos from camping this June. Uncle Gary and Aunt Sandra were there and it was our privelage to camp with them. What great memories we made!

Just us Boys


This was Bain's first night in his "room". The boys now share the large upstairs bedroom. Brennan was SOOO thrilled to have Baby Bain in his room. "Just us boys."

The words of Brennan Jake...

Today while playing in Bailey's room...

Bailey: "Brennan, do you like my dress up??"

Brennan: "Ummm...Bailey.....that's not your best look."

The words of Bailey Marie...

Mama: Bailey, your shoes are on the wrong feet. You need to switch them.

Bailey: MOOOOOOOOM, are they on the wrong feet or backwards?

Mama: ....they're backwards.

Bailey: OK...I'll switch ONE of them.

Greetings to all those on earth...

Yes...we feel, sometimes, like we're not really on earth. We're on some alternate plane, perhaps just above or beside the earth, where a 3-yr old's opinion is worth far more than the majority, hitting the toilet with ALL of the pee is an accomplishement and ketchup IS allowed on almost every food item. It's a good place to be. Hope all of you on earth are doing well!
